Sporting CP manager Silas has said Bruno Fernandes will feature in his squad on Friday when his club host Benfica.
The midfielder has been linked with an imminent switch to Manchester United, but the clubs are yet to agree a deal.
According to BBC Sport, Silas confirmed Fernandes is available for selection for the Lisbon derby.
"The only certainty I have is that Bruno Fernandes will be present against Benfica," Silas said. "When we have such an athlete it is normal for a lot of teams to want him, but tomorrow he will be there unless disaster strikes.
